Qidi X-pro Manual //top\\ Info

The QIDI X-Pro is a dual-extruder 3D printer known for its sturdy build and versatility with multiple materials. Since physical manuals can sometimes be misplaced, this guide synthesizes the essential operational steps from the QIDI Wiki and official documentation. 🛠️ Getting Started

Remove Shipping Clamps: Ensure any plastic shipping clamps on the Z-axis rods are removed with a metric Allen wrench before first power-on .

Power On: Use the switch on the back. The touch screen will light up once initialized.

Software Setup: Download and install the QIDI Print or QIDI Studio slicer. Select X-Series and then X-Pro as your model during the first-time setup . 📐 Leveling the Bed (Manual Tramming) Proper bed leveling is critical for dual-extrusion success. Navigate to Settings > Leveling.

Follow the on-screen prompts to move the extruder to the three main adjustment points. Place a piece of A4 paper between the nozzle and the bed .

Tighten or loosen the leveling knobs under the bed until you feel slight resistance when pulling the paper. Repeat for all points at least twice to ensure stability. 🧵 Loading Filament qidi x-pro manual

The X-Pro supports 1.75mm filaments like PLA, ABS, and TPU .

Heat the Nozzle: Select Tools > Preheat. Choose the temperature based on your material (typically

Insert Filament: Cut the end of the filament at a 45-degree angle. Push it into the top of the extruder while pressing the spring lever.

Extrude: Tap Extrude on the touch screen until the color comes out consistently from the nozzle . 🖨️ Printing Your First File

Slicing: Open an STL file in the QIDI software. Center the object ( ) and slice it to generate a .gcode file . Transfer: Save the file to the included USB drive. The QIDI X-Pro is a dual-extruder 3D printer

Print: Insert the USB into the printer. Tap Print, select your file, and confirm .

Z-Offset: If the first layer is too high or low, adjust the Z-offset in small increments (

) directly from the print interface while the first layer is being laid down . 🧼 Maintenance & Troubleshooting

Bed Adhesion: Clean the PEI build plate with dish soap and water or Isopropyl Alcohol (IPA) to remove finger oils .

Firmware: If you need to update, use the official QIDI Update Method to avoid corrupting the OS . Nozzle Size: The standard nozzle size is 0.4mm . PLA: nozzle 200°C, bed 60°C, print speed 50

Are you planning to use both extruders for a multi-color print, or are you just getting started with basic PLA printing? I can give you specific settings for either. Makerspace - Chalon M3LAB: 3D Printing Stations

A comprehensive guide to the Qidi Tech X-Pro typically covers setup, bed leveling, and software configuration. While the physical manual is included on the USB stick that comes with the machine, several detailed online resources provide more practical, step-by-step instructions. 1.

Software & slicing

  1. Compatible slicers: QIDI Print, Cura (with profiles), Simplify3D.
  2. Recommended settings (starting point for 0.4 mm nozzle, 0.2 mm layer height):
    • PLA: nozzle 200°C, bed 60°C, print speed 50 mm/s
    • PETG: nozzle 235°C, bed 75–85°C, 40–50 mm/s
    • ABS: nozzle 240–250°C, bed 100°C, enclosed chamber recommended
    • Retraction: 1–3 mm (direct drive), 20–40 mm/s
    • Cooling fan: PLA on, ABS off
  3. Enable brim/raft for adhesion on ABS/PETG; use skirt for PLA.
